Each project requires a different fabric type. From soft, and stretchy jersey material, and natural types of silk, to organic types of cotton fabric and types of canvas fabric, the right textile can make all the difference.

Choose your fabric by carefully researching its characteristics and uses, depending on your specific project. When working on your DIY project, such as upholstery, clothing, accessories, or furnishings etc. These questions will help you determine which types of fabric will be right for you:

Keep in mind where you want to use it, who it is for/what room is it for, what the conditions will be like, how you want it to look and feel, and what you want the finished result to be.

Choose the right fibre, weight, and construction from Contrado’s extensive list of fabric types; cotton, silk, satin, jersey, organic, synthetic, sustainable, canvas, and so much more. Ensure you always have the perfect textile for your project. If you want to see all Contrado’s 111 custom fabric collection, why not order a Fabric Swatch Pack?
